HeadPause vs SteadyGaze

HeadPause is a guided balance and stillness practice that uses the motion sensors in your AirPods to show you how your head is moving, in real time. Pick what you need, put in your AirPods, and follow the voice. HeadPause scores each step so you know you did it right. BALANCE Guided routines inspired by vestibular exercise: Epley, Semont, Brandt-Daroff, Half-Somersault, BBQ Roll, and gaze stabilization. With motion-capable AirPods you get live pose guidance and a form score. With other headphones or the speaker you get a voice walkthrough. STILL Eyes closed, head quiet. With motion-capable AirPods and Pro you get a calm score from 0 to 100, spoken coaching and drift feedback. Everyone gets a soft soundscape timer. MOTION Practice keeping your gaze steady with a live horizon, plus box breathing, for travel and screen time. RING Soft sound beds for a quieter room: comfort sounds, gentle focus tones, and a wind-down track. No head tracking required. STEADY CHECK A 15 second reading of how still your head is, so you can watch your steadiness change over days. FREE AND PRO Brandt-Daroff and gaze stabilization are free, fully guided and scored. Every other maneuver includes one fully guided, scored run so you can feel how it works. Still starts with a free 3-minute soundscape timer. Pro unlocks guided scoring on every maneuver, the Still calm score and coaching, your full progress history, and every stillness, travel and sound session. One-time purchase. No subscription. Family Sharing included. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. We never receive your practice data. It is kept on your device, and in your private iCloud account when iCloud is available, where only you can read it. HeadPause can optionally save Mindful Minutes to Apple Health if you turn it on in Settings; it never reads your health data. IMPORTANT HeadPause is a wellness practice, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition and is not a substitute for care from a clinician. If dizziness is new, severe, or comes with other symptoms such as weakness, double vision, trouble speaking, fainting, chest pain, or a sudden severe headache, seek medical care. Motion-capable AirPods are required for head tracking. Coaching voice is AI-generated.

SteadyGaze turns your AirPods into a real-time coach for vestibular gaze-stabilization (VOR) exercises. Keep your eyes locked on a fixed target while gentle audio tells you the instant your head moves too fast or too slow, so every rep lands in the right speed band, with your phone in your pocket. Built for people working through dizziness and balance problems: vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis recovery, post-concussion, residual BPPV dizziness, vestibular migraine, and PPPD.
